Hi Zen,

One of the things I have learned with work is that often, safety and security is just an illusion and if times are bad, these things can suddenly disappear under your feet. There is a talk Jim Carey gave about this and it maybe worthwhile to Youtubue it if you are looking for some inspirations.

As for finding what you like, it seems time that you have a pretty good idea of what it might be by reversing your hate list. If you need something more specific, consider doing a but of research through the net and find something that matches your skills and appeals to your passion.
